6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Essence of the Wild

Equivalent cards to Essence of the Wild (Green, creature-copy effect) include:

  • Doubling Season — doubles creature tokens (green)
  • Second Harvest — copies all your tokens (green)
  • Parallel Lives — doubles your tokens (green)
  • Mimic Vat — makes token copies of creatures (colorless, but fits green strategies)
  • Adrix and Nev, Twincasters — doubles tokens made (green/blue)

These create or multiply tokens similarly; none are exact, but they support Essence of the Wild's style.

    Ward

    Rules

  • If a player casts a spell that targets multiple permanents their opponent controls with ward, each of those ward abilities will trigger. If that player doesn't pay for all of them, the spell will be countered.
  • Everything that is specified by the effect creating the original token or tokens will also be true about the additional token or tokens created by Adrix and Nev's replacement effect. For example, if an effect tells you to create a token "tapped and attacking" the additional tokens will also be tapped and attacking. Similarly, if an effect creates a token and puts counters on it (such as a Fractal token) the additional token will also get those counters.

  • Battles will enter with double the normal number of defense counters.
  • Doubling Season affects permanents that enter with counters.
  • Everything that is specified by the effect creating the original token or tokens will also be true about the additional token or tokens created by Doubling Season's replacement effect. For example, if an effect tells you to create a token "tapped and attacking," the additional tokens will also be tapped and attacking.
  • If there are two Doubling Seasons on the battlefield, then the number of tokens or counters is four times the original number. If there are three on the battlefield, then the number of tokens or counters is eight times the original number, and so on.
  • Planeswalkers will enter with double the normal number of loyalty counters. However, if you activate an ability whose cost has you put loyalty counters on a planeswalker, the number you put on isn't doubled. This is because those counters are put on as a cost, not as an effect.

    Rules

  • Because creatures you control enter as copies of Essence of the Wild, any "enters" triggered abilities printed on such creatures won't trigger.
  • Creatures you control don't copy whether Essence of the Wild is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or any Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
  • External abilities may still affect how a creature enters. For example, if your opponent controls Urabrask the Hidden, which reads, in part, "Creatures your opponents control enter tapped," a creature entering under your control will be a tapped Essence of the Wild.
  • If a creature such as Clone is entering under your control, there will be two copy effects to apply: the creature's own and Essence of the Wild's. No matter what order these effects are applied, the creature will be a copy of Essence of the Wild when it enters.
  • If a creature such as Cryptoplasm that's already on the battlefield copies Essence of the Wild and modifies its own copy effect, that modification is also copied by creatures entering under your control.
  • If you control more than one Essence of the Wild, creatures you control will enter as a copy of the one whose copy effect you apply last.
  • Other "enters" replacement abilities printed on the creature entering won't be applied because the creature will already be Essence of the Wild at that point (and therefore it won't have those abilities). For example, a creature that normally enters tapped will enter as an untapped Essence of the Wild, and a creature that would normally enter with counters on it will enter as an Essence of the Wild with no counters.
  • Replacement effects that modify how a creature enters are applied in the following order: first control-changing effects (such as Gather Specimens), then copy effects (such as the abilities of Essence of the Wild and Clone), then all other effects. This is a minor rules change to make Essence of the Wild and similar cards in the future work intuitively.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Any "enters" abilities of the exiled card will trigger when the token is put onto the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters" or "[this permanent] enters with" abilities of the exiled card will also work.
  • Exiling the card as the first ability resolves is optional. If you choose not to exile it, or you can't exile it because the card has somehow left the graveyard before the ability resolves, the ability simply doesn't do anything as it resolves. Any card currently exiled by Mimic Vat remains exiled.
  • If Mimic Vat's second ability is activated during a turn's end step, the token will be exiled at the beginning of the following turn's end step.
  • If multiple nontoken creatures are put into their owners' graveyards from the battlefield at the same time, the imprint ability will trigger that many times. You put the triggered abilities on the stack in any order, so you'll determine in which order they resolve. However, since exiling those cards is optional, and choosing to exile a card this way causes the previously exiled cards to return to their owners' graveyards, the order generally doesn't matter: You'll wind up with at most one of those cards exiled, and the rest will be in the appropriate graveyards.
  • If the exiled card has {X} in its mana cost (such as Protean Hydra), X is considered to be 0.
  • If the token is a copy of a noncreature card, it will still have haste, though that won't matter unless that token somehow becomes a creature.
  • If the token isn't exiled when the delayed triggered ability resolves (due to Stifle, perhaps), it remains on the battlefield indefinitely. It continues to have haste.
  • The imprint ability will trigger whenever a nontoken creature is put into any graveyard from the battlefield, not just your graveyard.
  • The token created by the second ability will be a copy of whatever card is exiled with Mimic Vat at the time the ability resolves. This might not be the same card that was exiled with Mimic Vat at the time the ability was activated. It also might not be a creature card.
  • The token is exiled at the beginning of the next end step regardless of who controls it at that time, whether the exiled card is still exiled at that time, or whether Mimic Vat is still on the battlefield at that time.
  • You may activate the second ability even if no card has been exiled with Mimic Vat. If no card has been exiled with Mimic Vat by the time the ability resolves, no token will be created.
  • You may exile a noncreature card with Mimic Vat's first ability. For example, if a nontoken artifact that's become a creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, Mimic Vat's first ability triggers and you may exile that card.
  • If a melded permanent dies and triggers Mimic Vat's triggered ability, both of its component cards are exiled. As Mimic Vat's second ability resolves, its controller chooses one of those cards to make a token copy of.
  • If the creature that dies is an instant or sorcery card that's been manifested, Mimic Vat may have a nonpermanent card exiled. You can't create a token that's a copy of a nonpermanent card. No token is created in this case.
